Original Owl Sculptures in Ceramic & Bronze

Owl sculptures are one of my favourite things to create.

There's something about owls. I adore them all - big and small. 

Their owly shape is very pleasing and soothing to the touch, and they're such characters!

If the sight of an owl bobbing it's head curiously doesn't make you smile then I think you need to check your pulse! and let's not forget those ridiculously long legs that are hidden behind all those feathers. Brilliant.

About Owl Sculptures

Hooting and Tooting!

Owls are such a recognisable shape, they're so often featured in childrens' books that there's no wonder we all know and love them.

I remember being read to as a kid, "The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark," and resonating with the main character "Plop" as I too had a fear of the dark.

Their forward-facing eyes give them an unmistakeable appearance amongst their feathered friends.

Creating owl sculptures

It's all about that owly shape.

The miniatures sculptures are one of the most tactile forms I've created because there's no sticky-out-bits. They feel like well-worn pebbles in your hand and are very soothing to run your fingers over.

At the other end of the scale is my foundry bronze cast owl sculpture - she's very much a presence you can't miss.

Standing with her wings open she's having a stretch after napping all day, she's getting ready to come alive into the evening and the stillness of the night.

Hers is another world, one of stars and silhouettes, she's not afraid of the dark - it's her kingdom.

Owls are simply "Your Bird."

If you're like me, you're drawn to owls and can't really explain why. They're just "your bird."

They're seen in different ways across different cultures, but regardless they're always filled with symbolism.

My first sculpture was of an owl

Owls in the wild

The magic of encountering an owl in the wild is one of nature's most precious, mysterious gifts.

You know that they've seen you - no matter how well you're hidden, and sometimes your journeys intertwine and you're blessed with seeing one.

Each time you you glimpse an owl, you feel like the luckiest person on earth, and your every sense feels alive.

Yet you have to remain still to try and hold on to that moment for as long as you can before they're gone.

It's these encounters that fuel my need to create owl sculptures, so that moment can last a lifetime.
